I love my little walmart scale but I did take the nice bowl off it and
placed a flat piece of board on it. Cheap enough and it does a fine job
for weighing clay.

I might be the last person on Earth to realize this, but after pondering
all kinds of $50-plus scales for weighing clay I happened to be in WalMart
looking for something in the kitchen department, and there it was -- el
cheapo to boot! They have a kitchen scale that measures up to six or
eight pounds for a little over eight bucks. So far, it's worked just
fine. I'm probably at the four-pound competency level by now, hoping for
five soon, so it will do me for a long time to come.

I know. I don't like WalMart either. Guess I'm just a scale whore...
